Problems creating new non-Sharepoint sites

[Bill Hathaway]

I have a Windows 2003 server and a Windows XP Pro box that I create web
sites on. I have been able to create non-Sharepoint sites in the past on my
XP Pro box (it is running IIS 5.1) in the past but I am no longer able to
create sites. I get the following error message: "An error occurred
accessing your Windows SharePoint Services site files". I know that certain
package sites require SharePoint services but I am just trying to create a
basic one page site. Most (if not all) of my sites will be non-SharePoint
sites and the host will not be set up for use with them. It seems as if a
setting in Frontpage is assuming that all sites that I create will be
SharePoint sites and the only place that I can see to try to tell the
program not to assume that I want them is Page Options under authoring which
I turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In order to work on your server with FP, you have to enable the FP
extensions in FP, and apply the FP extensions under Windows XP and under
Windows 2003 you must enable the FP extensions and the default SharePoint
Web

Otherwise, you need to create/work with disk-based webs.

I am not sure what you mean by this. When you say enable
the FP extensions in Frontpage the only place that I can
seen any reference is on page options. I don't know where
you are saying to apply the extensions in XP. I have FP
extensions installed as part of IIS.

Ok,

In FP you must have extensions enabled under Page Options.

On Windows XP under IIS MMC, you select the web, then right click All Tasks
and apply and configure the extensions to the specific web.

On Windows 2003 server, under IIS MMC, you select the web, then right click
All Tasks and apply and configure the extensions to the specific web, and
make the default SharePoint Web is running.
